Areas to protect are foot angle and milking speed. The young ones look nice and the numbers look good for the NRF as a whole. Before I ran out, Eggtroen was my go-to bull for creating a pregnancy. It seems pretty unanimous among Aussie Red breeders that Bon Jovi is one of their best. Eggtroen currently ranks second on the TMI list, so there will be no sacrificing genetic quality for the polled gene especially in his case.
During the breedings in the first lactation, NRF x HO heifers had an 11.1% higher non-return rate, slightly fewer services, but a little longer intervals from calving to first service, and first service to conception than HO heifers.
